icon_STOP2012 - B&M Inverted Coaster - Under Construction - (1/30/12) Pictures of the fantastic themeing going in for the new B&M inverted coaster at Parc Asterix can be found at AmeWorld. With the Egyptian theme and the colors they chose for it, it really is reminding me of a Mini Montu.

    (11/15/10) The latest issue of First Drop magazine confirms the long standing rumor that Parc Asterix is ready to build a B&M Inverted coaster the 2012 season.

    (3/27/10) Screamscape sources have confirmed to us that Parc Asterix will be adding a new B&M Inverted coaster for their 2011 season, and not an Intamin ride.
    (3/1/10) Its been awhile since we’re heard much from Parc Asterix, but I’m hearing that a new themed serious thrill coaster is in the park’s future for 2011. Lord knows that the park is long overdue for a new coaster as the last one installed was way back in 2001, which was the Trace Du Hourra bobsled coaster from Mack. So far Intamin’s name is dropped most often, so I’ve got to wonder if perhaps they are looking to build their own version of Maverick.
